so, apparently hacking #scheme is going to get even more fun with B.L.U.E., a sane, extendable, lisp-y l, agnostic build system and #Ares, the interactive hacking tool we always sensed was missing from our work. Yes, we now have insightful backtraces in #guile!

The future has come!

Yes, a REPL is a treasure.

Probably worth repeating all these points (and more) for the benefit of all those who don't know them yet.

"It’s not clear how to reload code after it has changed."
is a valid point for Python as well.

#mcclim #graphics simple image display #commonLisp #programming #howTo video.

Since I did it somewhat live (while cribbing from dress rehearsal) it's 13 minutes of me making mistakes in emacs but in the end we basically get to the two lines:

(make-pattern-from-bitmap-file (image-path obj))

(draw-pattern* pane img-pattern 0 0)

I use ed #emacs #orgmode #slime #interactiveProgramming in a kinda zany way but I think it's great

I suddenly no longer have any interest in trying to find a copy of
Interactive Programming Environments 1984 by Barstow, Shrobe, and Sandewall.
It was a book focusing on #interlisp and more broadly a historical selection of evolved #lisp programming styles.
I have only been able to find a 3 page article that apologises for publishing it.
#lisp #interactiveProgramming .
@amszmidt @pkw @rms @lispi314 @gnemmi
hints or w/e on the trail appreciated.

@abortretryfail It has a certain lack of interactivity as a command line-oriented shell that stunts its potential.

If like #Emacs or the #LispMachine #Lisp listener (#OpenGenera videos on youtube demonstrate it) one could just open up & inspect objects and functions to look at their structure and methods/inputs/returns, it would make working with it so much more pleasant.

But my feeling is that Microsoft doesn't like command shells in general and has no interest in #InteractiveProgramming.
